I am planning to make an elm seed fly for carp soon. I don't know what other types of seed fish eat. That sounds awesome for spring time. Mulberry flies work well, cottonwood seed flys also kill for surface feeding fish. If you come upon a marina with carp eating bread nothing beats a foam bread fly although that is considered cheating by some. Most carp are going to be feeding off the bottom though
Bowfishing sucks

I thought of cottonwood seed, but didn't know if it would work. I did not think of mulberry, as I have never seen one I guess. As far as bread flies go...I have tried to make a couple. One came out real good with Gorilla Glue. I just left it white, with no color extra. I also made a couple of grass carp flies. I tried to make a Sucker Punch, but I did not have the right materials, I copied it as much as I could, with what I had. I wonder if they eat River Birch seeds too. If so, I could try to make that. Where I live there are tons of them, and some lakes around here have Bald Cypress. That is another seed to consider. Although I have no idea if they would eat a cone type seed like that. Hopefully somebody on here will know more than I, about this!

I hate to admit it but all the other fishing was so slow that I casted to them with the only white dry i had on me for about 20 minutes.

I dont mind admitting to casting to these fish. I threw a glow egg and a white dry fly. No luck. I did stay in this area and cast to them for a while as it was the only place I wasnt fighting tough currents. Then i noticed two 8 pound bass below my kayak that looked up at me with this "dont even try it look". Shortly after that I was back on my excursion for bass.

just never have. Dont like the way they smell,look or feel.Nothing personal. Yeah, cause fishing is all about the way the fish smell, look, and feel. It's not about the excitement catching a powerful, hard fighting fish... And fly-fishing is especially all about catching fish that look, smell, and feel good...that's why trout are so "popular"....Fly-fishing's never about the thrill of tricking one of the wariest, and hardest fighting fish in fresh water into sucking down your fly for that one instant, right before it torpedoes away from you and strips you down to your backing so fast you start to wonder if you've got enough... Hehehe. Just messin' with you man. Sounds like a fun trip either way!
